No other provider of electronic bidding services and no other means of delivery (i.e. telephone, telefax, telegraph, personal delivery, etc) of bids will be accepted. If any provision of this Official Notice of Sale conflicts with information provided by Parity, this Official Notice of Sale shall control. For further information about submitting a bid using Parity, potential bidders may contact Chip Pierce, Western Financial Group, LLC (the “Financial Advisor”) at Telephone: (503) 636-0265 or Parity at Telephone: (212) 849-5021. Bidders electing to submit bids through Parity must obtain access to the Parity system and bear all risks associated with using that system, including errors and delays in receipt of bids. By submitting a bid for the 2012 Series One Bonds, a prospective bidder represents and warrants to the Bond Bank that such Bidder’s bid for the purchase of the 2012 Series One Bonds is submitted for and on behalf of such prospective bidder by an officer or agent who is duly authorized to bind the prospective bidder to a legal, valid and enforceable contract for the purchase of the 2012 Series One Bonds. Award of the 2012 Series One Bonds. The Bond Bank will notify the responsible bidder complying with the terms of this Official Notice of Sale and offering to purchase the 2012 Series One Bonds at the lowest true interest cost to the Bond Bank of the award the 2012 Series One Bonds (or all bids will be rejected) by 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time on Monday, February 27, 2012.

Right of Rejection. The Bond Bank reserves the right to reject any and all bids, to waive any irregularity or informality in any bid, to take any actions adjourning or postponing the sale of the 2012 Series One Bonds or to take any other action that the Bond Bank may deem to be in its best interest.

The 2012 Series One Bonds will mature on December 1 in the years and in the principal amounts, as follows: Principal Principal Year Amount* Year Amount* 2012 2,310,000 2019 1,435,000 2013 2,430,000 2020 320,000 2014 2,565,000 2021 385,000 2015 2,690,000 2022 460,000 2016 2,165,000 2023 535,000 2017 1,170,000 2024 415,000 2018 1,290,000 2025 490,000 * - Preliminary, subject to change. See “Adjustment of Maturities.” Adjustment of Maturities. The Bond Bank reserves the right to adjust the principal amount of each maturity as may be necessary in order to produce level debt service on the underlying loans. The principal amount of any maturity of the 2012 Series One Bonds shall only be adjusted in increments of $5,000. Notice of any adjustment shall be provided within two hours of the time at which bids are opened through Parity. The Bond Bank will attempt to maintain the underwriter compensation as a percentage of the final par amount of the bonds when adjusting the maturities. The successful bidder may not withdraw its bid or change the interest rates bid or the initial reoffering prices as a result of any changes made to the revised amounts within these limits. Optional Designations of Term Bonds and Mandatory Sinking Fund Redemption. Bidders have the option of specifying in their bid proposal that all of the principal amount of the 2012 Series One Bonds scheduled in any two or more consecutive years may, in lieu of maturing in each such year, be combined to comprise one or more maturities of the 2012 Series One Bonds (the “Term Bonds”) scheduled to mature in the latest year of each such combination. The Term Bonds so specified by the bidder shall be subject to mandatory sinking fund redemption at par in the principal amounts in each year during the combined period of such Term Bonds, which would otherwise have been scheduled to mature in such years. If no Term Bonds are designated in the successful bid, the Bonds will mature serially without Term Bonds. Immobilization of the 2012 Series One Bonds. The 2012 Series One Bonds will be issued in fully registered form in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York ("DTC") as registered owner of the 2012 Series One Bonds, and immobilized in the custody of DTC which will act as securities depository for the 2012 Series One Bonds. A book-entry system will be employed by DTC evidencing ownership of the 2012 Series One Bonds in principal amounts of $5,000 or any integral multiple thereof, with transfers of beneficial ownership effected on the records of DTC and its participants pursuant to rules and procedures established by DTC. Principal of and interest on the 2012 Series One Bonds will be payable at maturity to DTC or its nominee as registered owner of the 2012 Series One Bonds. Transfer of principal and interest payments to participants of DTC will be the responsibility of DTC. Transfer of principal and interest payments to beneficial owners by participants of DTC will be the responsibility of such participants and persons acting through such participants (the "Participants"), and other nominees of beneficial owners. The Bond Bank will not be responsible or liable for maintaining, supervising or reviewing the records maintained by DTC, the payment by DTC or a Participant of principal of or interest on the 2012 Series One Bonds, any notice to bondholders or any consent given or other action taken by DTC as the registered owner of the 2012 Series One Bonds. ii Optional Redemption. The 2012 Series One Bonds maturing on or after December 1, 2022, are subject to redemption at the option of the Bond Bank in whole or in part on any date on or after June 1, 2022, at a price of 100% of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed plus accrued interest to the date of redemption. Extraordinary Mandatory Redemption. The 2012 Series One Bonds are subject to extraordinary mandatory redemption at a price equal to the principal amount of such bonds called for redemption, plus accrued interest to the redemption date and without premium in whole upon receipt by the Trustee of a notice of the occurrence of a Determination of Taxability of the 2012 Series One Bonds. “Determination of Taxability” means any final determination, decision or decree, all applicable appeals periods with respect to which shall have expired, made by the Commissioner or any District Director of the Internal Revenue Service or by any court of competent jurisdiction, that interest on the 2012 Series One Bonds or the Juneau Municipal Bonds is not excludable under Section 103(a) of the Code from gross income of any owner of such bonds for regular federal income tax purposes. Security for the 2012 Series One Bonds. The 2012 Series One Bonds are general obligations of the Bond Bank payable only from revenues or funds of the Bond Bank. The Bond Bank has no taxing power. The State of Alaska is not liable for payment on the 2012 Series One Bonds, and such 2012 Series One Bonds are not a debt of the State of Alaska. Neither the faith and credit nor the taxing power of the State of Alaska is pledged for payment of the 2012 Series One Bonds. The security for the 2012 Series One Bonds is described in the Preliminary Official Statement and the 2005 General Bond Resolution and Series Resolution, and those documents should be consulted for a complete description of the security for the 2012 Series One Bonds. Bond Insurance At Bidder’s Option And Expense. Bidders may elect to insure the 2012 Series One Bonds at the bidders’ risk and expense. The Trustee will only enter into agreements to comply with the administrative requirements of the bond insurer; the Bond Bank will not amend the general bond resolution, series resolution or the loan agreements. The Bond Bank will pay the fee for a rating from Moody’s Investors Service and Fitch Ratings, regardless of whether the 2012 Series One Bonds are insured. Failure of a bond insurer to provide insurance for the 2012 Series One Bonds will not release the successful bidder from its obligation to purchase the 2012 Series One Bonds. If the Bond Bank selects a bid that is based on providing insurance on the 2012 Series One Bonds, then the Official Statement and other documents relating to the 2012 Series One Bonds will be amended accordingly. However, no additional security beyond that described in the Preliminary Official Statement will be allowed. Interest Rates and Bid Price. The 2012 Series One Bonds will be sold in one block on an "all or none" basis, and at a price of not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the principal amount of the 2012 Series One Bonds. No serial or term bond maturity may bear a price of less than ninety-eight (98%). Bidders must specify the rate(s) of interest to be borne by the 2012 Series One Bonds, provided that each rate bid must be a multiple of one-eighth (1/8) of one percent (1%) or one-twentieth (1/20) of one percent (1%). The highest interest rate bid may not exceed 6.00%. No limitation is imposed upon bidders as to the number of rates which may be used, except that all 2012 Series One Bonds of one maturity must bear one and the same interest rate. The bidding is permitted either with or without bond insurance at the discretion of the bidder. In either event, the winning bid will be selected on the basis of the true interest cost to the Bond Bank, and in all cases the insurance premium will be paid by the bidder. Good Faith Deposit. The successful bidder will be required to provide a good faith deposit in the amount of One Hundred Eighty-Six Thousand Six Hundred Dollars ($186,600.00) in immediately available funds wired to the Bond not later than 2:00 p.m. (Prevailing Pacific Time) on February 27, 2012. Wire information will be provided to the successful bidder by the City or the Financial Advisor upon bid award. The Good Faith Deposit will be held by the Bond Bank to ensure the successful bidder's compliance with the terms of its bid and the Official Notice of Sale and Bidding Instructions, and will be applied to the purchase price on the date of delivery of the 2012 Series One Bonds. Pending delivery of the 2012 Series One Bonds, the good faith deposit may be invested for the sole benefit of the Bond Bank. In the event the successful bidder should fail or refuse to take up and pay for the 2012 Series One Bonds in accordance with its bid, then said amount shall be accepted by the Bond Bank as full and complete liquidated damages. Postponement. The Bond Bank reserves the right to postpone the sale and to set a new time for the sale either separately or at one time. Postponement may be effected by 8:00 a.m. Pacific Time on February 27, 2012 by a Statement of Postponement carried on the Amendments page of Parity and on the Munifacts system (the “Statement of iii Postponement”). At the same time or within 48 hours following the Statement of Postponement the Bond Bank may reset a new time for the sale. The reset sale notice may state different terms and conditions of sale and may refer to this notice for any or all terms of sale.
